Hello, my name is Tarra, and I’m your instructor!

Music has been the driving force in my life since I was four years old, and I am honored to have studied under numerous piano Pedagogues and remarkable musicians who have shaped and enriched my musical journey since then.

Devoted to the art of piano performance, and fueled by an unwavering passion for music, I am well-versed in imparting a rich musical education to aspiring pianists. My extensive academic training at the University of Puget Sound, where I earned a Fine Arts degree with a specialization in Piano Performance and Pedagogy, has provided me with a solid foundation of expertise. With a thorough understanding of classical piano technique, advanced music theory, collaborative musicianship, and performance, I possess the requisite tools to help students achieve their full musical potential.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to perform in various venues and compete in competitions, honing my skills as a pianist and instructor. I am also a member of the Washington State Music Teachers Association and the Gig Harbor Music Teacher’s Association which provides me and my students with access to a range of educational opportunities, including performances, competitions, festivals, and more.

It would be my pleasure to share my knowledge and passion for music with you or your child. My greatest joy lies in inspiring, transforming, and connecting with my students through the timeless and powerful medium of music and helping learners of any age to develop a love for music and a lifelong appreciation for the piano. With a patient and supportive teaching style, I strive to create a positive and nurturing learning environment that fosters creativity, discipline, and self-expression. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced pianist looking to take your skills to the next level, I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.
